Florida Driver’s License: Change of Address

Just moved? By law, Florida dictates to have your address updated on your license, vehicle registration and title certificate. You are also required to inform your insurance provider of your new address.

Getting temporary or replacement license mailed to you if you are out of state

To make the whole process easy, we have gathered all the information you need to change your address including the documentations, locations and costs involved.

Reporting a Change of Address

Upon moving to a new residence, you are obliged to notify the Florida Driver License Division of the change of address within 10 days. Fortunately, it is fairly easy. You can do it in person, by mail or through online. Select from the options below to get started.

For U.S. Citizens

Class E Driver Licenses

If you are a U.S. Citizen with a Class E driver’s license, you can report a change of address in three ways.

Through online

Visit GoRenew.com and follow the instructions carefully. Be ready to pay a fee of $25. Major credit cards are also accepted. The process usually takes about two weeks.

By mail

Download the Driver’s License or Identification Card Address Change Form. Fill it out and mail it to:

Bureau of Records

P.O. Box 5775

Tallahassee, FL 32314-5775

Do not forget to include the fee of $25 which can be made through a check or money order payable to the Division of Driver Licenses. Cash is always accepted as well. Your replacement license or change of address sticker (for licenses issued before July 1, 1997) to be affixed at the back of your license, will arrive after 30 days by mail.

Should you choose to submit your address change on your Florida driver’s license by mail visit flhsmv.gov to download the change of address form.

In person

Bring your current driver’s license along with your identification documents, proof of legal presence or legal citizenship. Prepare the $25 fee. In most cases, the examiner will be able to issue a new license immediately. However, some larger offices may require two weeks processing time.

Please note that if your driver’s license was issued before July 1, 1997, you will receive a change of address sticker to place at the back of your license. On the other hand, if you owned a digitized licensed (issued after July 1, 1997), you will receive a new license instead of a sticker.

Moreover, Florida law demands to destroy your old license as soon as you get the new one.

Class A, B or C Commercial Licenses

If you are holding this type of driver’s license, you need to report a change of address in person. But before you visit your local driver license office, call for an appointment first and come in prepared. Be sure to have the proper documents to present to the examiner including identification, proof of citizenship or legal presence.

For Non U.S. Citizens

You need to apply in person along with a proof of legal presence at a nearby driver’s license office. You may also want to call first to make the process streamlined and a lot easier.
